Could someone educate me on the proper recording of still-born births? One of our memb-clerks needs to record them for some twins in their ward. He’s thinking he should just record their names and birthdate, and then their death for same date. I didn’t see anything on it in Handbook 2, section 20.2- Naming and Blessing Children.

Check Handbook 1, I seem to remember something in there about handling still-born births.

See Handbook 1, 17.2.10.

Also, see the wiki article Stillborn for details on membership records (a regular membership record is not created).
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

Thank you very much. We will check out that MLS process.
